Activists in Charlotte, N.C., painted the words “Baby Lives Matter” on the street in front of a Planned Parenthood facility, according to multiple reports.

The words are painted in blue and pink in front of the facility in the city’s historic Cherry neighborhood, according to Charlotte’s WCCB.

The Charlotte-Mecklenburg Police Department told CBS affiliate WBTV that officers visited the site after receiving a call for service regarding vandalism. Police officials said the incident is under investigation, and the Charlotte Department of Transportation has also been notified.

This is not the first time that the phrase has been painted outside of a Planned Parenthood facility. Last month, activists painted the same phrase in front of a clinic in Salt Lake City, Utah, according to Fox News. It was removed less than a day after it was completed.

The acts appear to be inspired by murals on roads across the country that read “Black Lives Matter.” Washington, D.C., Mayor Muriel Bowser organized the phrase to be painted across two blocks of 16th St NW in the nation’s capital leading up to the White House. 

The Hill has reached out to Planned Parenthood for comment.
